No disrespect to Double Trouble, but that is the best version of my favourite song that I have ever heard. You hear people say Stevie was one of the best. You can shorten that. Stevie was the best. Period. There are a lot of greats in the history of 20th century, western pop music, but no guitar player offered more.

SRV is an exceptional guitarist but nobody ever comments on what a great vocalist he is. Not only is he the master of this style, he created it. Nuff said.

[@zakhriskin1602]

I think it's because his guitar skills are in the top 10 ever in history and his brilliant strong guttural blues voice gets underrated

[@michaelcarter3334]

His vocals dripped with soul and they spoke so much more than just the words. I agree with your comment.

his vocal was equal to his playing,all in one package,that is why the word genius applies,he was really something

[@allenkennedy6748]

In 1984 Stevie won two WC Handy Awards, for instrumentalist AND for Entertainer. The blues is sort of held at arms length by some. The Handy organization has worked to change that. The awards are held in Memphis yearly, and are legit. On the podium while accepting the award, Stevie broke down and wept. He was inconsolable. Finally he gathered himself and apologized. He explained that guitar had been a natural occurrence, but that he was humbled by the recognition of his vocal talent by “people that truly knew”. He was still unknown to the general public, still hoping that his talent and passion would support him- something that eluded 99% of blues men before him. True award, true talent, true story.

One of my great regrets in life is not seeing SRV live…

[@thenaturalmidsouth9536]

Saw him live in early 1983. Mind blowing performance.

[@peggyhall843]

I saw him in Boulder,co. Maybe his last tour. My guy took me to meet the master. We were not disappointed. I've never seen anyone like him. RIP SRV.

Omar Hakim is no joke. Legend. This version of Crossfire is rockin!

[@MarkGerardBarry]

Fabulous - what a God he was. To be able to play like that, but then SRV whomps you with the guts and gravel vocals - WOW!

[@infiniteuniverse9528]

It was Vaughan who became an all-time Blues legend after the very 1st note we heard him play. It was he who was ear-marked and destined to become the "Heir Apparent" to BB King as the new King of the Blues for the younger generation of Blues fans. His loss is a blow the Guitar community and the Blues community has never recovered from.

This video is cool for a number of reasons: Its Stevie Ray Vaughn; Seeing two beat-to-hell pre-CBS Stratocasters being played by two awesome players(Respect and RIP to SRV and Hiriam Bullock); Hearing a group of diehard Jazz/Rock musicians cut loose and go Roadhouse band ala the Blues Brothers; Seeing bass guitarist Tom Barney break a string at the end of 'Crossfire' around 5:41 and not even sweat it; he just nods at SRV as if to say, 'Let's keep the party going'. Mark of a real pro. Great performance all around.

Actually, the string unwrapped at the headstock post when he bent it at the end of the song. It happened to me once, the string was cut a bit too short. I loved it how that Jazz bass stayed in tune.

Strat is the Hammond of electric guitars

[@jesselayden9480]

There are very few artists, in my opinion, that play and sing as good live as they do in the studio. Srv was one of those few who could do it better on stage than in the recording studio.

Any band with Omar Hakim on drums is a great band...

Average pro, overrated basher...!

@@douglasknoll3500 Well, not sure a 'basher' would get to be in Weather Report, but it would be dull if we all liked the same stuff I suppose! I saw WR play in London, was my first ever live gig, and was blown away by his playing, I didn't touch my kit for 6 weeks after...
